Are these components compatible with each other

Peter Jaszkowiak · Apr 27, 2013

I'm gonna build a computer and just wanted to make sure that these will all work with each other:

- EVGA GeForce GTX 680 02G-P4-2680-KR Video Card

- Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 Quad-Core Desktop Processor

- CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 Desktop Memory

- CORSAIR CX600M 600W Power Supply

- GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD5H ATX Intel Motherboard

Peter Jaszkowiak :

All seems fine , if you're going to overclock your CPU then get a aftermarket cooler...if you're not then get the non K edition.

yes, they should be compatible....however, if you are planning on overclocking your cpu you will need an aftermarket cooler and probably a slightly larger PSU. It would also be a good idea to verify the memory is compatible with the mobo you have selected, go to Gigabyte website and look up your boards compatible memory, but chances are it will work.

The PSU he has is big enough for the GTX 680. If he's going SLI then he'll need a bigger PSU

Dont get a builder series, they're built cheaply and the more powerful ones are a rip off.
These units are better: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151126
or you can indeed just buy a big unit right away and you'll never need another one (until it's old and worn out anyway) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182073

ihsaan96 :

The K edition ends up being only $5 more, all still get it, I can always buy a cooler later if I want to overclock.

EDIT: Can you recommend a good cooler?

one of the more cost efficient coolers is the CM 212 EVO, usually can be found for about $30. Just make sure your case and motherboard have the room for the dimensions of the aftermarket cooleryou get. (For the case, it would be the cooler height, for the motherboard it would be the width/depth as it may interfere with RAM sockets.)

Peter Jaszkowiak :

The Hyper 212 Evo is probably the most famous cooler out there. You shouldn't have a problem with height as it's not too tall and will fit in most cases ( but do a check ) also you shouldn't have ram height problems but make sure again like I said.
